Old-New Synagogue

The Old-New Synagogue, built in 1270, is the oldest in the Josefov Quarter of Prague and one of the oldest active synagogues in Europe. This Gothic synagogue is also one of the best-preserved synagogues in Central Europe. For centuries it was called the "new synagogue" of the Jewish Quarter, until the construction of several new synagogues in the 16th century.
